Testimonials
"FUMC is not just a place for children to receive care or early childhood education but a place for them to find a home away from home. The small classes allow for substantial educational enrichment. Every staff member knows and treats my children as a unique and special individual. I have watched my sons progress educationally, socially and emotionally. In previous programs I didn’t see the eager excitement the way I do here. My children love the environment and more importantly feel loved. As a parent I am engaged daily by photos and messages on Brightwheel. I have been offered complete transparency with updates on their progress. When one of my sons was struggling every teacher was dedicated to his success. This isn’t just a school or childcare center this is a stepping stone to lifelong success during your child’s most formative years."

"We LOVE this program. I know my kids are in great hands at FUMC. They are always excited to go to school and are happy when we pick them up. They have so much fun at school, they are learning a lot and making new friends. The school is affordable and easy to work with regarding schedules. I would recommend to anyone!"

"My son had a wonderful experience at FUMC this year. He enjoyed going to school each day and being greeted by his teachers who were always smiling! He liked doing crafts, calendar time and outdoor play."

"Our daughter began the Farmingdale Daycare when she was 2. After touring several facilities, we instantly felt at ease and at home with FUMC. The teachers & support staff have all been fantastic - going above & beyond. They truly care about each child. We now have a son who is also attending and both of them are academically learning at a level that is unparalleled. Highly recommend!!"

"We have been sending our girls here since 2017 and we can't say enough great things about FUMC. While the academic parts of preschool are important, the social & emotional development of preschoolers is even more crucial. The Staff at FUMC pours into the children that attend and its noticeable. Our children feel loved & heard - something you don't always get at preschool. Small class sizes contribute to this as well as teachers who truly enjoy the work they are doing each day. FUMC is a gem in a small town like Farmingdale. We know that our kids are safe, encouraged & learning every time they are dropped off. We highly recommend FUMC to anyone who is looking for a quality preschool program with a small-town feel."

"Our 3 year old was painfully shy and new to a school setting. The outstanding & nurturing staff eased this transition helping our daughter not only adapt, but excel both socially & academically. Now she just loves going to school. I cannot say enough positive things about Farmingdale Daycare Center. Parent/teacher communication is stellar. Projects & activities are so creative fun. Having your child be cared for by others is difficult to begin with, but at FDC I have 100% confidence all children are safe & very well cared for :) "

"My daughter has been attending Farmingdale Daycare Center since July 2019 and is a part of the 'Terrific Toddler' class. I can honestly say there is not enough wonderful things I can say about the center. My daughter has flourished since starting at the center. Every day she learns new skills or new vocabulary. Enrolling her as a full-time student was the best decision I've made thus far. ALL the staff and teachers are wonderful and so loving and attentive. I know that while I'm at work my daughter is safe and properly cared for. For anyone thinking of enrolling a child or children in this center I'd say do it now! You will not regret your choice of Farmingdale Daycare Center."

"Farmingdale Daycare is truly a special place. We've sent 3 of our 4 boys to preschool here, and the school feels like an extension of our family. A hidden gem for families; more than affordable, the staff can't be beat, and they truly create a magical early childhood program. Thank You!"
-Phyllis B. / June 2019
"Farmingdale Daycare Center is a great place for early childhood education. After experiencing other daycare's beforehand, they have been the best. The child to teacher/helper ratio is great. They take all details and concerns into consideration and give detailed daily reports back. I'm so happy and thankful my son goes here."

"We enrolled our 3 and 4 year old boys in Farmingdale Daycare Center for the first time this year. Since beginning, we have felt nothing but love and a sense of belonging. As a teacher. education and forming relationships were the most important variables when looking for a place to send our children and we have found that in FDC. The programs that the school puts on for our kids have helped them learn so much and gain so many experiences. Our 3 year old went in with a speech delay and by Christmas was saying his alphabet and counting to 20! The teachers are so welcoming and informative everyday when we pick up our boys, the amount of care and focus spent on our babies individual wellbeing is apparent. The relationships our kids have made with the other children and teachers will continue long after we have moved on to kindergarten. The artwork, school shows and other activities that our kids get to participate in through every season and holiday are beyond our expectations and so amazing to witness. We cannot be happier with the school's tuition or experiences that our children are gaining."

"F.U.M.C. is the "gem" of childcare we have been looking for- the staff is amazing, always friendly, upbeat & they love the kids! They have a wonderful program in place with visits from Mad Science, dentists & other educational speakers. It's affordable too! We really could not have asked for a better place to care for our boys :) "

"What a lovely local place for children! The entire staff - teachers, assistants, director - truly show what it means to care.

"Having to search for a pre-school for our second child, we didn't know where to turn as we were new to the area. I stumbled upon FUMC and was immediately impressed. Finding this gem of a school was like hitting the lottery. The teachers are top-notch, the rooms are immaculate, the attention your child receives is beyond compare but; most importantly, they truly love your child as if they were one of their own children. As we now move on to Kindergarten we will miss FUMC immensely though, the memories and friendships created here will always remain close to our hearts. If you are looking for a friendly, loving, nurturing, safe and secure environment for your child, then stop looking and register your child or children at FUMC. You will not be disappointed and I assure you that your expectations will be exceeded by leaps and bounds."
